What Is Soft Serve Ice Cream?

The smooth and fluid consistency of soft serve ice cream is achieved through a unique freezing process where air is introduced to the ice cream as it freezes. Soft serve ice cream is produced at a temperature of 25° F, while regular ice cream typically requires a much colder temperature of about 5° F. It also contains less milk fat than traditional ice cream.

How to Make Soft Serve Ice Cream

Fill a 1 gallon pitcher with 1 quart of cold water.

Add the contents of your ice cream mix bag to the 1 gallon pitcher of cold water and stir with a wire whisk until smooth.

Add 3 more quarts of cold water so there's 1 gallon total.

Mix well.

Pour the mixture into your soft serve ice cream machine.

1 gallon of mix will yield 1.25 gallons of soft serve ice cream.

Refrigerate any unused soft serve mix.

How Does a Soft Serve Ice Cream Machine Work?

Most soft serve ice cream begins with a powdered mix that is then dissolved into water to create a sweet liquid. To transform this liquid into ice cream, simply pour your mix into the hopper on your soft serve machine. The mix will spin inside a freezing cylinder, and it usually takes about one hour for the ice cream to freeze.

Since soft serve ice cream requires that air be introduced to the mix in order for the texture to reach the proper consistency, soft serve machines have an air pump inside that aids in this process. The amount of air inside the machine impacts the texture of the finished product. Less air yields a thick and rich texture while higher quantities of air will produce a fluffier and lighter product. The desired texture depends largely on personal preference, but the ideal volume of air in your soft serve should be between 33% and 45%.
